Diet Sodas ~ What They Do To Your Body

Submitted by admin on Sun, 12/07/2014 - 16:38

Everyone is turning to diet sodas trying to cut calories. But the truth is diet sodas are putting weight on you not taking it off. Artificial sweeteners are 300-500 times sweeter than sugar. The tongue measures the sweetness of food and then sends a message to the brain which then determines whether to release insulin to the body. In turn, the brain releases massive amounts of insulin and when the insulin in our body goes up the body stores it as fat versus burning fat. In this interview from Terry James show, Alive, Terry talks to Peter Greenlaw and Scott Schulz about this misconception that diet sodas are better for us than regular soda.
